![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | The Harvey Girls - The Harvey Girls [ia008] - The Harvey Girls
On their debut imaginary album, The Harvey Girls weave sweetly delicate melodies into hauntingly evocative soundscapes, creating a seamless fusion of pop and sonic experimentation that is both as lovely and foreboding -- in a word, sublime -- as the sight of a watery, lemon-tea sun being swallowed by an ominous black thundercloud. Or, as a friend of mine and instant admirer of theirs put it: "Sounds like they probably shouldn't need anyone's help finding a real label...

| Santa Inferno - Wonderland of Smut [IA003] - Santa Inferno
What's astounding about Santa Inferno's debut is that not only is every song unique, each one is a pop masterpiece.

| C.J. Pizarro - Tits of America [ia005] - C.J. Pizarro
In the Half Japanese documentary, The Band That Would Be King, Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller lamented the fact that no music had been able to surprise him since he'd first heard Elvis as a child (though Half Japanese, he conceded, came close). He obviously hadn't heard Tits of America. With more surprise!s than the most popular girl's surprise birthday party, this 21-minute epic careens through styles, genres, melodies, and sonic experimentation like a hunted animal scurrying through the unde...
